About this Event

Celebrating the Life and Legacy of John Thompson

Please join Freedom to Grow, RAE 2.0, and Ms. Laverne Thompson at the John Thompson Legacy Center for the opening of our Resurrection Archives, honoring the extraordinary legacy of John Thompson (JT) on the anniversary of his birth, and the unveiling of JT's bust portrait, by arist Becky Gottsegan as part of her Exonerated series.

Featuring installations from our first two Resurrection Archive fellows, Charlotte Grubb and Imani Dennison, food, drinks, and sacred space to honor the impact JT had and continues to have on the movement to end mass incarceration in Louisiana - and beyond!
